Who we are…

The Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe was officially established on 12th October 2002 as a non-partisan think tank fostering an open and free society. It bears the name of Ludwig von Mises, one of the most prominent libertarian economists of the whole XX century, and one of the main representatives of the Austrian School. The Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe primarily aims at: ❖ Exchanging and promoting a free and open economy with a particular focus on the economic ideas of the Austrian School" ❖ Bridging the gap between “Brussels” and the European citizens and between Eurocrats and Eurosceptics ❖ Acting as an interface between top academics, senior business leaders, respected media commentators, and leading politicians across the EU and in Brussels ❖ Teaching young professionals and students from all over the world to learn about the workings of the European Institutions ❖ Connecting world-wide liberals and organizations at national and international levels …and what we do Since its foundation in 2002, the Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe has successfully organized a variety of conferences, symposia, discussions, targeted dinner debates and lunch debates, discussing topics like: The growing role of the EU; Knowledge & Innovation; Transatlantic Relations; Tax Competition; Better Regulation; and Islam and the EU

The Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe is a non-partisan think-tank fostering an open and free society and dedicated to bridging the gap between believers in the free market across artificial boundaries that often divide academic, business, and political circles.

Members include former Prime Ministers, MEPs, former commissioners, key politicians, senior academics, business leaders and prominent journalists. Ludwig Von Mises Institute-Europe has as the sole objective to creating prosperity for every individual, while initiating new and unaccustomed ways of analysis and debate in order to ensure Europe’s future prosperity and security in the global village.

Educational Program

◼ Aims at teaching young professionals and students from all over the world to learn the workings of European Institutions

3

◼ Exchange and promote principal ideas and merits of Classical liberalism, with a particular focus on the Austrian School;

◼ During the whole year the LVMI Europe offers internship positions to students from universities all over Europe and beyond. Interns get the chance to fully develop skills that are essential for organizing events, writing research papers, and editing the newsletters, website management, database management and network management.

◼ Having a good cooperation with universities is very important for the Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe. This helps us with research work and allows us to give interns a chance to develop their skills at the Institute. We maintain contracts with the Universities of Leyden, Bologna, Cagliari, Lille, Tampere and Brussels (VUB/Vesalius). This does not mean that all of our interns are exclusively European: in the past we have had interns from Eastern-European countries, China, India, Tanzania, United States, Canada….as well.

◼ Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe firmly believes that the international character of her internship policy allows for a better contribution to the discussion on a free and open society. For the interns, the knowledge and skills they develop at the Institute give a boost to their future prospects; many of them find a job very quickly and the others went back to their university with fresh ideas.
